Remote yard monitoring in Jersey City
Live agents and AI cameras watch Jersey City's warehouse yards and trailer lots around the clock, from the Port Jersey docks to the Turnpike Extension, running gates remotely and calling police with video in hand.
Local and live
Port Jersey and the Turnpike Extension
Jersey City's Port Jersey, on the city's southern waterfront, is anchored by the Global Container Terminal, a 168-acre facility built from a 98-acre terminal and an adjacent 70-acre former auto terminal, now moving more than 1.8 million containers a year. The New Jersey Turnpike Extension (I-78) connects Port Jersey to the Holland Tunnel through the city, and Route 440 runs from the Bayonne Bridge north to Route 1&9 Truck, passing warehouse and distribution lots along the Hackensack River waterfront on the way.
A Jersey City man was sentenced in June 2026 to 48 months in federal prison for conspiring to burglarize logistics warehouse trailers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, part of a ring that stole laptops, perfume and liquor worth more than $270,000. A trailer parked at a dock or distribution lot overnight is exactly the kind of target that kind of ring looks for.
Sigma's agents keep a live eye on every camera at a Jersey City yard, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, rather than leaving footage that's checked after a trailer comes up empty. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the fence line once the docks or lot go quiet, the agent on duty verifies it, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and escalates to police, and you're left with video clips and a written report. Yard Operations adds damage inspections and visual seal checks on video.
On the record: A Jersey City man was sentenced in June 2026 to 48 months in federal prison, plus 8 months for a separate supervised-release violation, for conspiring to burglarize logistics warehouse trailers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and transport the stolen goods, which included laptops, perfume and liquor worth more than $270,000.

FAQ
Jersey City monitoring questions
Can you watch a container yard near Port Jersey overnight?
Yes. Agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights and holidays. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone near the stacks or fence line once the docks go quiet, and the agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers before calling police.
Can your agents check drivers at a Jersey City distribution lot?
That's handled through Gate Operations. The agent on duty sees each arrival, speaks to the driver through the gate speakers, checks them against your pickup list, and opens the gate remotely once they check out. The time and an image are logged for every visit.
How would a Jersey City yard get cameras installed, since Sigma is based in Ontario?
Being based elsewhere doesn't change the setup, since monitoring runs over your site's own internet connection. A technician still travels out to install the cameras and speakers a yard needs, and many compatible cameras already on site can often be connected instead. The power, the internet connection and the gate stay yours to maintain.
